A SAVAGE DOG FIGHT. Dan, of Newark, », bip» Bonn Cemdou, In Ninety Minuten. [Philadelphia Times.] Bouncer, a white bull-dog, weighing 28 pounds and belonging to Kelly, of Camden, and Din, of the same breed and also white, weighing 27 pounds, belonging to Bob Meg han, of Newark, were pitted against each other in Gloucester last night In the pres of a large number of admirers of sport of this kind The stakes were $260 a side and large outside bets were made by Newark and Camden men on their respective tries, so that a good deal of money changed hands. Johnny Toohey, of Newark, handled Bouncer and Meghan attended to his dog. They lost no time in clinching and in less than a second were rolling together over the floor, each trying desper ately to get a bold on the other's throat. Falling iu this they separated, but only to come together again even more fler; ely, and this happened time alter time, until both dogs were puffing with exhaustion and literally covered with blood. Just at this juncture the owner of the shed demanded $25 rent, threatening to call the police if that sum were not immediately paid, and the money was quickly raised and passed over, to prevent any interruption of the brutal sport. For an hour the battle went on with no advantage to either, although Bouncer seemed to be somewhat weak and a little discouraged. Then Dan, seeing his advant age, made the most ta vage attack thus far, got a solid throat grip, and for 15 or 20 minutes or so drew his opponent about the floor and had everything his own way. Kelley saw that Bouncer was beaten aud wanted to stop the fight and save his life, but this the crowd would not permit and 10 minutes more of the battle was allowed. By this time Bouncer, who showed wonder ful pluck throughout, was as helpless as a wet rag, and Kelly, seeing that he had no living chance, picked fhim up, and, draw ing his revolver, forced his way through the crowd aud out of the place. The stakes went to the owner of Dan. r, of r 11 THE OHIO CAMPAIGN. Opened With a Brilliant Democratic Rally In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, 8epfc. 4 —To-day the political campaign opened in this city by a mass meeting in l ourt street market space. Mayor Stephen*» presided and Judge Follet's open ing speech, with its sharp arraignment of the Republican party for its inconsistency, Indicated very clearly what will be the line of argument for the campaign in Hamilton county. Michael Ryan, who in the convention op posed energetically the ticket which was nominated, made a vigorous speech. He took the opportunity to say that the tem jiorary breach in the party ranks would soon disappear. What the audience waited for with special interest was the reading of letters from prominent gentlemen who declined to be present. The letters read were from Con gressman Jordan, Senator Pendleton aud Alexander Long. The last named expressed his hearty support of the ticket nominated by tne county convention. Jordan hoped at some future time to address the citizens on the issues of the campaign. Senator Pen dleton's letter was very brief and was not accompanied with any explanation except the statement that the written message had already been anticipated by a verbal one of similar tenor. The letter was heard In silence, followed by cheers lor Pendleton. •'THE PRUSSIAN'S" CHALLENGE.

Likely to be Continued Illness of m Witness. Uniontown, Pa., Sept. 4.—The trial of James Nutt for shooting Nicholas Lyman Dukes on Wednesday evening, June 13, will, in all probability, be continued until the December term of court. The attorneys on both sides have agreed to try the case on Thursday of this week, but as j. C. Breck enridge, a cousin of Nutt, and an impor tant witness for the defense, is seriously ill, the attorneys for the defense made a motion in court this afternoon to have the case con tinued. The court refused to recogDize a doctor's certificate setting forth the condi tion ol Mr. Breckenridge, and the doctor will accordingly appear in court to morrow and personally testily as to the condition of his patient. When it was learned that the case would prrJmbly not be tried at this term oi court much regret was expressed by every one, principally on account oi the length of time that young Nutt will be compelled to re main in jail. The town is crowded with strangers from all over the country, who came for the sole purpose of hearing this case and they turn affairs have taken. The sentiment in favor of Nutt's acquittal is overwhelming. Acooant of the much disappointed at the The Poorest of the Poor. A good sized audience gathered at the Opera House last evening on the occasion of the Reutz-Santtey first appearance in this city this season, and if last night's perform ance is a sample of what they will give the remainder of the season, they bad better disband and hire a lot of amateurs, for their performance was the poorest of the poor. The only redeeming feature of the whole program of Dutch Daly Our home render the Instrumental portion of the program and play accompaniments. Just what was the matter with them it is hard to say, but they appeared to be unable to play even the simplest parts and made things almost unbearable In their frantic attempts to keep after the slngere, who were on a par with the orchestra, as far as ability was.con ; cerned. It is to be hoped that a Wilm ug j ton audience will never again be called upon to sit and listen to such a thoroughly poor performance.

Preparations for War With France the Part of Chin apondlng—Foreign Newa Noten. on Readily Re 11 Hong Kong, Sept. 4.—There is much ex citement here consequent upon the receipt of news that 15,000 Chinese troops have crossed the line at Mongkul, a seaport on the frontier, and entered Tonquin territory. This news, if confirmed, means that China has accepted the gage that France has thrown down, and that war is inevitable. These troops are stated to be marching In the direction of Haiduong,where two French companies are stationed. Seventeen hundred troops from Shanghai, on their way to Canton, passed through Hong Kong to day. More troops are arriv ing from Shanghai, and 4,000 troops which stationed at Pakoi have were to the frontier. There is a general move ment of troops throughout the empire, the objective point being Canton,which will un doubtedly be the base from which opera tions against Annam will be directed. Preparations are in progress at all the northern military depots for the despatch of a large force to the south, and reports from Nanking and H&n Kow indicate that rangements to forward large bodies of men to the south have been completed. Several thousand men are working night and day on the Whampoa forts. These forts command the rive* approach to Canton, and will be relied on by the Chinese to pro ve it an attack on Canton by the French fleet. Later reports say that the missionaries have fled from the stations on the route taken by the Chinese troops who crossed the line at Mongkai. Two Annamite converts have Paris, Sept. 4.—Neither the Chinese Le gation here nor the French Government has yet been informed of the entry of Chinese troops upon the territory of Tonquin. The Chinese Legation states that it is pos sible that China has reinforced her troops on the frontier, owing to the treaty imposed on Annam by France. China, being suzerain of Tonquin, might, in case of need, consider that she has a right to send troops to Ton quin. The Legation having received tlce oi the treaty of Hue, has not protested against it. It is currently reported here that the Mar quis Tseng, the Chinese Ambassador, is ex pected daily to resume with M. Challemel Dacour, the French Minister of Foreign Af fairs, the negotiations which were begun between M. Tricou aud Li Hung Chang and which were broken off by the Marquis Tseng. A Cabinet meeting was held to-day, at which Prime Minister Ferry presided. After consultation the Cabinet decided to send large reinforcements to Tonquin, consisting of troops from Algeria and the foreign legion. Berlin, Sept. 4.—-A note is published here, evidently from the Chinese Embassy, stating that nobody acquainted with the Intentions of China considers that she will ever give her consent to the treaty between France and Annam. The latest advices from Pekin show that the Chinese authori ties are in favor of war. London, Sept. 4.—The Pall Mall Gazette states that the Marquis 'iseng will leave London for Paris to-morrow. been ordered ar killed. of DO DO TROUBLE IN A HOUSE OF BOURBON. Goritz, September 4 —Several groups of French Royalists held a meeting here yes terday at which resolutions were adopted declaring in favor of the Count de Paris as the successor of the Count de Chambord. One of the resolutions is signed by the Count de Rochefoucauld, and expresses de votion to the principles of the monarchy and welcomes the Count de Paris as the head of the house of Orleans. Another resolution, signed by the Baron de Lareinty, recognizes the Count, de Paris as the representative of those principles. No address was sent to the Countess de Chambord. Paris, Sept. 4.—A serious split in the Royalist ranks, which has been noticed by caref ul observers to be impending ever since the illness of the late Count de Chambord became alarmiug, is now beyond the possi bility of concealment. The quarrel has been made public by the peevish refusal of the Count de.Paris to honor the obsequies of his distinguished cousin at Goritz yester day. This actiou has terribly incensed the Legitimists and the rupture between the two factions of Royalists has become widened to such an extent that it is doubtful if they will ever coalesce sufficiently to make effec tive their claims to the Government of France. The Figaro states that the « >rleans princes will return to Paris forthwith. Prince Jerome Napoleon has gone to Montcalieri. The King of Portugal has issued a decree orderiug the court into mourning for four days in memory of the Count de Chambord. The period of mourning at the Imperial Court of Germany has been made eight days. THE TERRIBLE TIDAL-WAVE.
